Upgrade from LX5 suggestions?

As far as a polarizer - it's really the only useful filter for general use on a digital camera. I didn't carry one in Japan (mostly cloudy skies) and wished I had it a few times taking pictures through windows.

Good luck on your trip, and enjoy your new camera!

Thanks for taking the time to write such a detail explanation.

I am back home now and won't be traveling again until possibly early next year.
